Currently in the US, electrical energy in the grid isn\u2019t stored, it is simply generated on demand. EPB hopes to be able to predict, and therefore mitigate, these energy usage spikes, called critical peak load.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Dr. Ashish Gupta, Associate Professor of Analytics and Information Systems in the UTC College of Business, partnered with EPB to conduct research with three MBA students: Dharti Purani, Jeff Culler, and Ginger Duggan.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">EPB volunteered data from their Smart Grid for the data analytics research project lead by Gupta. Meters on EPB\u2019s grid communicate directly with EPB every 15 minutes, showing the usage that occurred. The data displayed the energy usage of tracts, rather than individual homes, allowing Gupta and his students to study the larger scale data on critical peak load.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cWe concluded that geographically, depending on where you are in Hamilton County, you have a different usage pattern. We found we could make predictions about energy usage at a given time looking at where people live. We don\u2019t know what to do with that yet, but it\u2019s interesting, and it warrants further study,\u201d Culler said.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cIt\u2019s a great experience working with real world data, exploring real patterns in Hamilton County. We see the area being divided into three usage categories, and further studies could tell us why,\u201d Purani said.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The project offered the group experience working with data analytics computer programs.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cI\u2019ve been in the workforce, so it\u2019s been awhile since I\u2019ve done this kind of academic research. It was a good refresher for methods and a chance to work with new computing power, which is really a game changer. We can work with very large data sets that we couldn\u2019t have 20 years ago,\u201d Culler said.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cDepending on where you go to work, there are a lot of ways you could make use of experience with these research tools,\u201d said Duggan.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The project, titled \u201cPsychographic Profile of Energy Usage in Chattanooga from the Smart Grid,\u201d was presented at the 2015 Research Day.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cIt is part of the college experience, sharing what you\u2019ve learned and studied, and learning from other students what they have been working on. That increases the potential to collaborate, and the overall knowledge base,\u201d Duggan said.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dr. Ashish Gupta, Associate Professor of Analytics and Information Systems in the UTC College of Business, partnered with EPB to conduct research on the Smart Grid with three MBA students.<\/p>\n<p class=\"more-link-wrap\"><span><a class=\"more-link button text\" href=\"https:\/\/blogarchive.utc.edu\/news\/2016\/01\/mba-students-research-epb-smart-grid-usage-data\/\"><span>Continue Reading <\/a><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":857,"featured_media":14607,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_genesis_hide_title":false,"_genesis_hide_breadcrumbs":false,"_genesis_hide_singular_image":false,"_genesis_hide_footer_widgets":false,"_genesis_custom_body_class":"","_genesis_custom_post_class":"","_genesis_layout":"","_ef_editorial_meta_date_first-draft-date":"","_ef_editorial_meta_paragraph_assignment":"","_ef_editorial_meta_checkbox_needs-photo":"","_ef_editorial_meta_number_word-count":"","_ef_editorial_meta_checkbox_slider":"","_ef_editorial_meta_checkbox_featurette":"","_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[57,70,48007],"tags":[12762,4962,48008,48296,48302,48308,12804,48300,48294],"class_list":{"0":"post-14608","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-academics","8":"category-college-of-business","9":"category-research-academics","10":"tag-college-of-business","11":"tag-faculty-research","12":"tag-office-of-research-and-sponsored-programs","13":"tag-office-of-undergraduate-research","14":"tag-office-of-undergraduate-research-and-creative-endeavor","15":"tag-research-day-2015","16":"tag-research-dialogues","17":"tag-undergraduate-research","18":"tag-vice-chancellor-for-research","19":"entry"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.6 -
